About
Carat by Cartier is a Floral fragrance for women. Carat was launched in 2018. The nose behind this fragrance is Mathilde Laurent. Top notes are Green Notes, Pear and Bergamot; middle notes are Hyacinth, Tulip, Narcissus, Lily, Honeysuckle, Violet and Ylang-Ylang; base notes are Mimosa and White Musk. Cartier Carat represents a fragrant interpretation of diamonds. Cartier in-house perfumer Mathilde Laurent wanted to make a perfume that would shine equally lively and intense as diamonds do. Carat is described as a flower full of life, an explosion of pleasure and freshness with molecules of joy loaded with crystalline energy.To accomplish this, the perfume maker decided to imitate an optical phoneme that is characteristic of diamonds: diffraction of color. So she chose seven different fresh flowers that, when combined, formed a new, abstract flower.The composition represents the colors of rainbow in the form of flowers; violet, indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange and red are captured with the notes of violet, lily, hyacinth, ylang-ylang, narcissus, honeysuckle and tulips.Carat de Cartier is available in Eau de Parfum concentration in bottles of 30, 50 and 100 ml.

About
Too Much by Guerlain is a Floral Green fragrance for women. Too Much was launched in 2000. Top notes are Mimosa and Bergamot; middle notes are Mimosa, Lily and Hiacynth; base notes are Narcissus, Benzoin and Jasmine. This is more intensive and floral version of Champs Elysees, summer and optimistic fragrance for the joyful and gentle. It was launched in 2000. Too Much? – Can it be too much of spring time freshness, the breeze of May, tenderness of nature and love? Never! The beginning is fresh and somewhat sharp (the bergamot of Calabria’s and mimosa); the heart is a composition of mimosa, lily and hyacinth. The trace reveals jasmine, narcissus and benzoin.
